How to Choose The Right Rain Coat for Your Dog

coats No Comments

A proper fitting dog rain coat is the first piece of PupStyle dog fashion I tell my clients to invest in. If there is one item you shouldn’t go cheap on, it’s the rain coat. If chosen properly, it can last you for many years and become a main wardrobe staple. A good fitting rain coat like the one below from DJANGO , will save you a tremendious amount of time and money on grooming and cleaning your home.


The picture below is my puppy Norm who insisted on going feral one recent raining morning and came home looking like a mud mop. Needless to say his coat ended up matted,my bathroom trashed and now he is in for a big shave soon. Let this be a lesson to myself and others-don’t let the dog go naked in the rain!

What makes for a good rain coat?

THE CUT-Measure your dog carefully and read the size chart. It sounds simple, but there are no universal size guidelines for pet fashion so one brands XS might be another’s S. Start by measuring the length of your dog from the base of it’s neck to the base of the tail. Next, measure the girth. The girth is the circumference of the chest. Lastly, the neck size. Usually for a rain coat neck size it’s such a big deal unless you have a Bull Dog or Pub etc. who has a thick neck. Be sure to choose a size that covers enough as close to the base of the tail as possible for optimal coverage but not too long where it covers part of the tail.

2. EASY ON/OFF DESIGN-Velcro vs buckles. Go for velcro closures instead of snaps, buttons or velcro when choosing a dog rain coat. Long hair easily gets caught in buckles and buttons and can be hard to put on and take off a wiggle wet dog. You also want to be sure the design allows for a harness to be worn under it with a hole on the back of the coat for the leash to stick through and a hole near the neck closure for a leash to attach to a collar.


3. HIGH QUALITY FABRIC WITH A LINING-Avoid a stiff plastic fabric and look for something like the DJANGO coat that is made of a soft yet water proof nylon and a breathable lining.

Dog Leotards- Laugh or Cry? Product Review of Shed Defender

clothing design doggie don'ts dogs and fashion fashion Pupstylish Photos No Comments

Doggie DON’T!

I’ve been reviewing dog products and dog fashion at PupStyle for over 16 years and just when I think I’ve seen it all, a new idea creeps up that has me wondering if I should laugh, cry or rejoice? Yes, I’ve styled a pug to look like Olivia Newton on Wendy Willams for a dog fashion show, but this new dog Onesie by  Shed Defender – Putting Dog Hair in its Place – Red – XS takes “Lets Get Physical” to a new level.

This one-piece dog suite was designed to protect your home and car from unwanted dog shedding but the founder, Tyson Walters  also found it useful for protecting surgical site wounds and claims it might be able to replace the cone of shame. The company also markets this for reducing anxiety and protecting your dogs coat from dirt and wet sand at the beach for example.

Shed defender product review

In theory this seems like a handy idea, but after putting the product to the test on my 9th month old puppy Norman, I see it as more of a torture device. The cut and colors of the suit are stylish and would look cute styled with a hoodie, for an “active wear look” but my PupStyler became very anxious and started biting and pulling on the legs to get it off.  Norman is very mellow and usually lets me dress him up in anything but he was angry at the Shed Defender!

Norman is also ultra fluffy and I found it impossible to zip up the suite without getting his hair stuck in the zipper. I also had to be VERY careful not to zip up his “jewels” in the process because it’s designed to cover literally everything under the belly. In order for the dog to pee, you must unzip it or else you get a leotard loaded with pee and poo.

Product review of the Shed Defender

Dog onesies are not anything new in pet fashion but the most successful designs leave an opening for the dog to do it’s business and avoid zippers at all cost on the underbelly. Velcro or buttons  would be a safer design option to consider. I can’t say all dogs will react like Norman and some may actually like it but to test it out you will have to drop $39.00. You be the judge.
